Three familiar faces leaned against the corner, seemingly asleep, waiting for the bubbles to dissipate, while the water ripples floated in mid-air above the iron cage.
"They are in a deep sleep after the spacetime barrier was broken, and they are expected to wake up within one day."
Hongyu's expression remained unchanged as she flipped a palm-sized creature that resembled a small snake but was not quite a dragon.
“This is the sinner who brought you here to do all this.”
"Who is he...?"
Just as Lu Mingming was about to ask, a groan of begging for mercy rang out.
"Help! Help! I really didn't mean to!"
The little mermaid's mouth actually contained the voice of the young boss.
"He is a hybrid of the mermaid race and the dragon race. He has tried many times to return to the mermaid race and explore more information about the mermaid treasures, but he has been stopped each time. He had no choice but to resort to a last resort this time, sending you here to deal with the first wave of danger in advance, while he sneaks into the mermaid palace later."
The small business owner, whose identity had been exposed, was no longer as arrogant as before. The little dragon kept kowtowing and begging for forgiveness in Hongyu's palm: "Mingming, Mingming, please save me for the sake of me finding your cub. Only you can persuade him. I don't want to be taken to live in the mermaid territory!"
"What I see is exactly what you wanted."
Seeing his companions still fast asleep beside him, Lu Mingming didn't care at all whether the little boss was alive or dead.
This liar is a master of deception.
"I'll answer your third question."
Lu Mingming met those rose-colored eyes.
"I am Hongyu, yet I am not Hongyu. To be precise, I lost all my memories after my evolution until recently when I returned to the world of mermaids and confirmed my identity."
If you were one of those humans from before, I would have easily sent you to a dangerous parallel world and killed them, but you are different…”
Hongyu tilted her head.
"I don't understand... why you have my power within you? We must have a good relationship."
When this was mentioned, Lu Mingming's mind conjured up everything in the forest, and he gave a wry smile, unsure of where to begin.
"This is not the time to talk about this. You should take them away as soon as possible. The world of mermaids is not a place for you."
"And what about you?"
Lu Mingming traveled to four different places for Hongyu, constantly worrying about his safety.
"I?"
Hongyu smiled.
"I am from the mermaid world, and I am different from you by nature."
Lu Mingming snapped out of his daze.
"Go now, we'll meet again someday."
As soon as the words were spoken, a fierce wave rolled in from afar, swinging Lu Mingming and the cage next to him further and further away, without stopping for a long time. The figure under the moon gradually became a small dot.
Why are you doing this to yourself?
As Lu Mingming's figure became increasingly indistinct, a small seahorse darted out from beside Hongyu.
"I can see that you cherish her very much, so why don't you keep her as our queen?"
Hongyu gazed at the sky, her eyes filled with confusion and a jumble of chaotic thoughts.
"I don't know either."
The leader of the mermaid tribe leaped into the sea.
"...Perhaps it would be a mistake to use memories to restrict her freedom."
